New post, well ive been working on it since 2017 so it's a big one. 🧠
I put together a Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Cognitive Biases — 145 biases catalogued across 22 sections.
This isn't just another "top 20 biases" listicle. It goes way beyond the usual territory into:
🔹 How social media and algorithms are specifically designed to amplify your biases
🔹 The deeper worldview-level biases most people never examine
🔹 Concepts like wetiko (the indigenous "mind virus"), mass formation, and egregoric capture
🔹 Political shadow traps across ALL ideological orientations — left, right, libertarian, centrist, none are spared
🔹 Propaganda, institutional capture, and historical case studies of what happens when these patterns go civilizational
But it doesn't stop at diagnosis. Part II is entirely about liberation — drawing from therapeutic tools, contemplative practices, depth psychology, philosophy, and daily routines for staying sovereign in a world designed to capture your attention.
The goal isn't to become "unbiased" — that's impossible. It's to become more awake and more free.
I'd love to know which biases hit home for you.
